True. That's effectively a downgrade to 'older but stable' without seeing the warning. FWIW I think the web site should be redesigned to make the LTS choice more accessible. For many users, it's the better choice. > Is LTS an upgrade or not? It's not. It's a different release line and should probably be called 'cross-grade', but if the choice is up/down, check the three digit part of the version number, and from 599 to 596, it's down. > Is installing the latest available release of LTS a downgrade?

Currently the Jenkins web site does not really help users choose one of the release lines. This should be changed IMO. Information on how to (not) change between these lines would then be a helpful addition. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Users" group.
